 Get your teens started off right this year with a team building exercise. Welcome back and congratulations on taking one more step towards becoming one of the great leaders of tomorrow. It's the beginning of a new year and a great time to start your team off right with a team building exercise. I know everyone is really busy but a team building exercise doesn't have to take a lot of time or be complicated and the benefits you'll get from it will set the tone for the entire year. As I mentioned earlier a team building exercise doesn't need to be complicated, expensive or take hours or days to complete. You may have exercises you like to do with your team but if this is your first time doing one I recommend the Marshmallow Challenge exercise. This is a quick one that takes less than an hour from beginning to end and can be done with items you can just get from the supermarket. The goal is for each team to build a tower on a spaghetti that can support the weight of a marshmallow on top. I won't go into all the details but you can find it at MarshmallowChallenge.com. Now the Marshmallow Challenge is just one exercise you can do and there are many others out there. The important thing to remember is that the goal of any team building exercise is to develop communication and leadership skills in your team and to get a good idea of the capabilities and skills your team has as well as any capabilities and skills you feel like you might need to develop on your team in the future.
